Wu Zheng did not come to Shaoxing on purpose.

He did a private interview with Weibao, but the destination was not Shaoxing.

Compared with the more than a dozen prefectures under the rule, Shaoxing and Hangzhou are the bases of Wu Zheng, especially Shaoxing Mansion, the policy tilt is self-evident, and the degree of support and harmony between the government and the people is naturally very high.

As to whether the people accept the complete reduction or exemption of agricultural taxes, private interviews cannot be conducted in Shaoxing and Hangzhou, at least not only in these two prefectures.

Wu Zheng is passing by.

Well, when people always think they have controlled everything, they have a kind of childlike joy, hoping that they will hide in the shadows and discover something that they can't see.

It's just time to eat.

There is a liquor store right next door.

It just so happens that the liquor store is very lively.

A lot of them are just right, so that Wu Zheng Zheng entered the "Old Zheng Ji".

Warm one pound of old wine, cut two pounds of beef, and serve a plate of fennel beans.

Wu Zheng, Lu Jincai and others gathered around a table of eight immortals and ate silently.

But the evolution of the plot is definitely not something that Wu Zheng could predict.

At first, Wu Zheng was happy, then appreciative, and then slightly annoyed.

But Wu Zheng had no intention of interfering in the prefecture and county, and the death of a soldier could not enter Wu Zheng's eyes.

The general's palace and the guards were not at fault when they commented on their merits, and the fundamental reason for rewarding and punishing them was that they would be rewarded and punished, so that they could be ordered to be forbidden and military orders were like a mountain.

Although Wu Zheng felt that according to the situation described by Huang Jiawa'er, the son of the Tan family should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and at least should be compensated, because this time Wu Zheng had ordered the General's Mansion to make an exception for the bereavement and reward for those killed in the battle.

For example, Huang Jiawa'er was awarded a third-level county at this time, so in fact, Huang Jiawa'er's original knighthood should be one level lower and a first-class county male.

The son of the Tan family died in Jiangdu, except for his cousin's Huang family baby, there is no one to prove it, how can the merit be rewarded? To what extent?

If you reward someone who shouldn't be rewarded, how can you face the 200,000 soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army?

Therefore, Wu Zheng has always listened and watched as a bystander, even if the scene is really touching, but the law is the law, and you can't make an exception because of one person or a few people, which is the same as "Ci is not in charge of the army".

But in the end, Wu Zheng realized that something was wrong.

After listening to his nephew's account, when he knew that his son was martyred and did not flee and die in an accident, the first thing he thought of was not to appeal but to calm things down, which was a little weird. Especially when his nephew also reminded him to appeal to the General's Palace.

You must know that his nephew is now a third-level county, and according to the law, he can go beyond the prefecture and directly appeal to the General's Mansion, which is his prerogative.

Of course, Wu Zheng knew that if he couldn't find a second witness, the appeal would likely fall into the sea and drag on for three or five years.

But as a father, he should not be so calm when he learns that his son died fighting for his country and does not receive the rewards and benefits he deserves.

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, so Wu Zheng stopped it because Wu Zheng thought of another consequence of this matter.

……。

"Uncle, can you take a moment?"

This sound made Wu Zheng a table of four people and became the focus of the room.

The middle-aged man surnamed Tan turned his head and glanced at Wu Zheng, originally he had no intention of entanglement with strangers, as he said, his wife at home was overwhelmed by the death of her eldest son and needed to rush back.

But in those who have been in the top position for a long time, there is always a terrifying momentum, although it is invisible, but the fact exists.

Especially a superior like Wu Zheng, who rolled over from the battlefield, can kill people even with his eyes in an exaggerated way.

The man surnamed Tan unconsciously turned around and arched his hand: "Dare to ask if this Lang Qi is talking to Tan Yan?" ”

Wu Zheng returned the salute with his hand: "Exactly...... Dare to ask what the uncle is called? ”

"The contemptible person's surname is Tan, and his name is strange."

"Uncle Tan is polite." Wu Zheng shook slightly.

Tan Qi bowed in return.

"I just heard Uncle Tan say that he didn't want to complain...... Dare to ask, why? ”

Tan Qi frowned slightly, and stopped: "This is Tan's private and family matter, don't ask ...... Tan's dog is newly mourned, if you have nothing else to do, Tan will leave. ”

Wu Zheng said calmly but stubbornly: "Looking at Uncle Tan's words and deeds, should he be a scholar?" ”

On the other hand, the Huang family took a step forward and replied: "My uncle is the ...... of Chongzhen's ninth year. ”

"Disrespectful, disrespectful." Wu Zheng said lightly, "But it stands to reason that since it is a lifter, why doesn't Uncle Tan want to appeal...... ”

Tan Qi was a little annoyed, and he said coldly: "Lang Qi is not in charge of other people's private affairs. ”

On the side, Huang Jiawa'er also said: "Dare to ask who Brother Tai is?" ”

The tone of the two was already not good, if it weren't for Wu Zheng's invisible momentum, and Lu Jincai and the three of them behind him, they were afraid that they would be expelled from the wine shop immediately.

That's right, Tan Qi is a person, even if he has no official position, he is also a person with meritorious fame, as long as this land is still clear, then his fame cannot be deprived.

And the Huang family has just been awarded the title of a third-level county, and when she sees the official level, even if the prefect is in person, she has to give three points of face.

Wu Zheng's expression was still calm, he didn't pay attention to the Huang family's baby, looked at Tan Qi and asked, "Uncle Tan, don't refuse people thousands of miles away, I mean well...... Since Ling Lang sacrificed his life for the country and did not receive the rewards and benefits he deserved, he should appeal. ”

Tan Qi frowned and said impatiently: "Tan said it, this is my family's ......!" ”

"No!" Wu Zheng interrupted, "Although this is your family's family affair, it is also a public and national affair!" ”

I have to say that being able to speak like Wu Zheng does give people the feeling that they are extraordinary.

Tan Qi's expression also slowly became serious, "Dare to ask...... What do you mean by that? ”

"Uncle used his own selfishness to make the military order exist in name only, is it a family matter?" Wu Zheng said solemnly, "Ling Lang is meritorious or demeritorious, and he has his own military law to judge, if everyone is like an uncle, and he spends his life with family affairs, then the military law that merit must be rewarded and punished is useless...... When the war starts again, how many people are willing to fight with the enemy and serve on the battlefield? ”

This may sound ridiculous, but it is true.

The soldier is at a disadvantage and cannot compete with the superiors, so the grievances he suffers slowly accumulate, and eventually the military orders cannot be smoothed, and what is destroyed is an army and a country.

Tan Qi can not appeal to the government for his son's reward and pension due to his own reasons, but if this matter spreads, it will be said that it is the fault of the government, and it will even be rumored that someone has put on a crown and Li Dai and coveted the merits of the Tan family's son.

It may sound small, but the consequences can be severe.

Tan Qi looked at Wu Zheng in astonishment, he had already realized that the young man in front of him was not a good person.

"Dare to ask Lang Qi...... Who is it? ”
